Coaching and Advising

I had the pleasure of working with Doug as my executive coach. His experience and thoughtful perspective was valuable in helping me think through my approach towards a few business challenges and personal goals. I enjoyed and appreciated the meaningful dialogue and support with Doug and would highly recommend him as an executive coach.

Doug’s ability to draw out real mindset shifts has been so incredibly impactful for me, both in the role I had while being coached, and in my new role. We focused conversation on the “why” of the behavior, and then made slight tweaks of behavior to develop better habits. I would absolutely recommend Doug for anyone looking to improve performance, capitalize on strengths, and drive results.

I highly recommend Doug’s coaching style and insights into leadership if you want to work on servant leadership. 2020 was a very tough year and I relied heavily on the techniques, tools and self-awareness that Doug provided through coaching. Thank you Doug!
